Gary was only in the house for ten seconds and he already...

[Videostar]

Made me laugh out loud 3 times. :joker:

[JoshBB]

I don't get the hype tbh, he seems alright though but maybe a bit off his rocker.

[Vanessa]

Made me laugh out loud 3 times. :joker:

He's funny without even trying. :laugh2:

[Videostar]

He's bloody funny. :joker:

He didn't even know who Frenchy was, and they once dated. :cheer2:

[Gillian-73]

Ditto. He was funny!

[Loukas]

I think he's a fantastic signing for the show!

[Ross.]

What a guy :clap1:

[Rob!]

What?

[Pincho Paxton]

I was too busy psychoanalysing him to laugh.

[jegmeister]

He is incredibly funny without even realising it - I think he's great. But he is going to have to watch that temper - if we see more of those outbursts (like when he was in bed) he will lose popularity quickly.

[elliebrew]

I find him utterly unwatchable! It's cringe beyond belief

I feel like he shouldn't be in there

Have we taken to idolising and laughing at an obviously very ill man

It would be funny if he knew what he was doin and saying

But the fact he doesn't know what's happening most of the time and you all find it hysterical i just find tht wholly uncomfortable

[Pete.]

Um there clearly is something not right and it makes awful viewing

He's 70 with a hearing impairment, don't be so patronising.

[Marsh.]

And brain damage!

So? You're acting as though he's in need of a straight jacket.

He's fine. Just because he comes across as a bit scattered physically and took time to settle in doesn't mean he can't handle it.

Once he was settled and chatting to the housemates he seemed completely calm and fine, just his hearing holding up some of the conversation.

[Marsh.]

And sight?

What?

[Pete.]

What?
Could he not see his ex?

Your missing my point

Your nt laughing at him because he's being humorous or having a laugh

Your laughing at him because he's scattered, and confused and doesnt know what's going on

That is uncomfortable for me

[Marsh.]

Could he not see his ex?

Probably worked hard to forget her. :hehe:

But as I say, he's obviously slower and has some health drawbacks but he's fine. So far.

[Marsh.]

I'm not laughing at him full stop so wind your neck in. :nono:

If I was who are you to say what I'm laughing at?

He does know what's going on but he's not familiar with the show so naturally questioned things and took a bit to have things explained.

[Pete.]

Probably worked hard to forget her. :hehe:

But as I say, he's obviously slower and has some health drawbacks but he's fine. So far.
Not nice viewing at all

[Marsh.]

Not nice viewing at all

What? The Frenchy scene.

He did recognise her "I know you" but he's over 70. Even the fittest of them struggle with memory. How long ago were they together?

Don't say last week. :laugh:

[lostalex]

anyone who doesn't think Gary is fit to be on the show, STOP WATCHING. and if you don't then **** about it, hypocrites.

seriously we had to deal with this bull **** all last year about lauren. if you don't like it then stop watching. simple as.

[bots]

Speak for yourself, he is a naturally funny man. The ageism on display here is ridiculous.

[lostalex]

i'm not gonna put up with the same ****ing people using the same ****ing excuses to be trolls again. just don't watch then. I guess you think all disabled people should just be locked away and cared for in small dark rooms. **** off /

Aggressive much

I don't agree with laughing at a confused man

His age has **** all to do with it

His brain injury does

70 isn't old these days

[CaudleHalbard]

He is confused and deaf. It is a bit uncomfortable watching him. I have to say.

Haven't found him in the least amusing so far. Watching a brain damaged and hard of hearing person is not my idea of fun. :(

[Marsh.]

So 70 isn't old enough to be showing the effects of ageing? :rolleyes:

His hearing and slower moving is just a coincidence.

He is perfectly in control of what he is doing. So he is a bit deaf and takes time to understand what people are saying. This is a reason to say he shouldn't be on the show? If there were any issues with his mental health, he wouldn't be on there.

[elliebrew]

My mother is 70 and fit as a fiddle! A lot of 70 year olds are

His hearing and slower movement are down to brain injury

Leslie (who I believe may be lying about hi age) is prob close to 70 himself and he's fine

Good for your mother. Is that the same for all 70 year olds? No.

Bloody Dot on EE is busy and fit as anything for her age in her 80s. Is that the same for all of them? No, quite a lot of people are dead by then.

How do you know his hearing and slower movement is down to brain injury?

My grandad now has two hearing aids and glasses at 75, he has no brain injury. It's the effect of ageing.

You're doing the same as the guy in the other thread about Leslie is, judging on the packaging and the labels as opposed to the person themselves.

No one laughs at Gary Busey for being confused, they laugh because he is a hilarious quirky guy and ALWAYS has been like that, he has a hearing problem fgs that doesn't make him confused and he isnt brain damaged to the extent some would have you believe..

He is also a fantastic award winning actor and is probably the only one in there that is a true celeb. I respect him for everything he's achieved throughout his 40+ year career. I am stunned that they actually managed to get him for our CBB.

You are determined to pigeonhole him into a predetermined hole you've made up in your head after one highlights show....

No Josy

He isn't all there

Don't try an swing quotes around to be ironic

Don't like him, he's uncomfortable to watch, he shouldn't be in there

[Marsh.]

He isn't all there

Meaning? Proof?
Struggling to hear people doesn't mean he isn't all there.


Don't like him, he's uncomfortable to watch, he shouldn't be in there

You not liking him isn't a good enough reason for him not to be there.

That's not my issue Marsh

My issue is he didn't remember a woman he had. Two year relationship with

An you think he's all there?

And before you blame age for memory loss

You don't just draw a blank on two whole years of your life

He also obviously knows Spencer Pratt otherwise Steph wouldn't have brought it up

Gary didn't deny knowing him because he was was being 'badass' or 'owning' somebody with a put down.

He obviously doesn't hav any recollection of him

Just to be clear, as I have now had to repeat it 3 times. He did say, ... I know you, and gave her a big hug. So, he hadn't forgotten her.

After a minute at least

Repeat yourself as many times as you like

A person of sound mind would see someone they had A TWO YEAR RELATIONSHIP with and know them instantly

I can't be any clearer than that

Absolutely not the case. Do you know how many faces he has had put in front of him in his career? If you do not expect to see someone in a particular situation its very easy not to recognise them. Perfectly common behaviour.

[Marsh.]

Yes it is

Not his problem or fault. I'm sure homophobes are uncomfortable watching flamboyant gay men, doesn't mean they shouldn't be on the show.


He is a loose canon and I don't care how much of a legend he is

Again, repeat themselves because he's hard of hearing in a house where 14 people are shouting over one another.

Sat at the table with Claire, sat in the garden with others he was much better.

A 70 year old man needing someone to speak a bit louder is not a "loose cannon".

a) He recognised Frenchy instantly. His first words to her were "I know you", smiled and gave her a hug.

Given her surgery it's a wonder he recognised her at all. Then she introduced herself and he knew who she was.

My grandmother calls me my cousin's name all the damn time and doesn't even notice her mistake at times.

b) Spencer Pratt. How do you know he knows him? He might be familiar with him and if he met him would remember him but someone saying "You know my brother" was a vague question on an overwhelming night.

Even the rest of the house found it overwhelming and took their time to calm down.

[elliebrew]

Absolutely not the case. Do you know how many faces he has had put in front of him in his career? If you do not expect to see someone in a particular situation its very easy not to recognise them. Perfectly common behaviour.

He's 70 years old for christ sake! It took him a few minutes to find his bearings in the house and then recognised a woman which took him SECONDS to place the face. Google tells me they split 5 or 6 years ago so him taking SECONDS to place her face during a very manic and crazy CBB launch night is nothing.

Where have I said he's amazing or laughed at him?

I've asked you to elaborate and you can't actually come up with any proof that he's isn't of sound mind or is a "loose cannon" beyond struggling with his hearing and taking a few seconds to place the face of a woman he hasn't seen for years.

Not very convincing so far.

I don't know whether he has a genuine memory disorder or not. But to be honest, if I have a memory disorder at his age, I'd hate the thought that people were uncomfortable to watch me go about my daily life just because I couldn't remember some stuff. Neural damage and disorders are a disability which are likely to affect many people, and I believe having exposure to it in this way is a good way to remove stigma attached to such disorders (that is if he does have a problem, I don't know either way).

Basically, we shouldn't be writing people off just because they have a disability, it's a bad attitude to have, and not one I'd like to be on the receiving end of.

No, it's being realistic.

You're being offensive by blaming every single aspect of him on his brain injury as opposed to plain old ageing.

Being in your 70s IS AN EXCUSE for bad hearing, aching joints, bad eyesight, moving a lot slower. Pretty common sense.

Saying he shouldn't be in the house because people are repeating themselves a little louder so he can hear is ridiculous.

MARSH 4 times I've given several points to prove what I'm saying

All you have done is say its normal for a person to forget someone they've had intimate times with!

Apparently it's now normal to 'take a few minutes to place the face of a woman whose gone down on him every night for two years'

It's well documented that his brain injury affects his daily life

The fact your denying it is just ludicrous

[Xtopher]

He's golden. "Orgy?" & "Shhh" is legendary.

[bots]

70 years old IS NO EXCUSE

Keeping blaming his age is being ageist

I think you are looking for a problem in him, that's the issue. Try accepting him for who he is. For someone of my age, I have been familiar with him and his antics for years. I would be the first to be uncomfortable if I felt there really was an issue. So far, I'm not seeing any issue other than a bit of deafness and that is no reason to be uncomfortable at anyone.

I'm not denying anything. I'm saying it's not unusual for a man of his age to be a bit rusty in many areas.

You are claiming his brain injury is making him a loose cannon and crazy. Proof? You've simply latched onto "brain injury" and are now looking for faults, looking for signs and making yourself uncomfortable.

How do you know she was with him every night for 2 years? Met in 2008, I'd bet they were on and off. Looking at pictures she's had a lot of work since then and a lot has happened in his life since then. May it be his brain injury affecting his memory a bit? Possibly. Does that make him dangerous or unfit for CBB? No.

I bet his brain injury does affect his daily life, is that a reason for him to leave CBB? No. If he can handle it, he should be welcome and until a time comes that he can't handle it you shouldn't make assumptions off a 5 minute clip.

There is no proof at all that they were in a real relationship for 2 years.

She is also a woman that isn't a stranger to cosmetic procedures....

Your missing my point

Your nt laughing at him because he's being humorous or having a laugh

Your laughing at him because he's scattered, and confused and doesnt know what's going on

That is uncomfortable for me

You know why I'm laughing? Really? I think he's a lovely man, and he does know what's going on. He's 70 years old and has a hearing impairment and been through a lot, and I think he's just fine.
